<\/figure>\n\nPreventing Further Corrosion Through Dehumidification<\/h2>\n\n
One of the most important initial response measures in this project was controlling humidity through a dedicated dehumidification room<\/strong> to help prevent further corrosion.After a fire, equipment can be affected not only by soot but also by firefighting water and elevated humidity. Electrical, electronic, and testing equipment is particularly vulnerable when moisture remains present, as corrosion can develop rapidly on metal parts and internal components. The site assessment confirmed that corrosion was already developing on some battery charge\/discharge equipment due to exposure to firefighting water and residual moisture.<\/p>\n\n
BELFOR Korea operated a dedicated dehumidification room and continuously controlled humidity levels<\/strong> to quickly stabilize equipment with restoration potential. This reduced further exposure to moisture and helped prevent corrosion from progressing while restoration work was underway.
Rapidly Identifying Equipment with Restoration Potential<\/h2>\n\n
Not all fire-damaged equipment can be treated in the same way. Some equipment was considered difficult to restore due to direct heat damage and severe corrosion, while other battery charge\/discharge equipment, chambers, and testing systems were considered restorable because, although exposed to soot and firefighting water, they had not sustained significant direct heat damage.<\/p>\n\n
BELFOR Korea specialists rapidly assessed and categorized each piece of equipment based on the following factors:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Direct heat damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Level of soot and fire residue contamination<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Exposure to firefighting water<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Extent of corrosion<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Internal contamination of electrical and electronic components<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Whether the equipment can be inspected after cleaning and drying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Based on this assessment, restoration priorities were established so that equipment identified as restorable could be addressed as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n
Step-by-Step Restoration of Testing and Production Equipment<\/h2>\n\n
The facility contained a wide range of electrical, electronic, and testing equipment. During the damage assessment, fire soot contamination was identified on various assets, including battery charge\/discharge equipment, environmental test chambers, and redox flow battery testing systems. Before restoration began, each piece of equipment was assessed based on its design and level of contamination to determine the appropriate procedures, including cleaning, drying, and specialized decontamination.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\nSimultaneous Restoration of the Building and Equipment<\/h2>\n\n
The fire affected more than just the equipment. Soot contamination was also found on the building and associated structures, including ceilings, walls, piping, and cranes. BELFOR Korea restored these affected areas alongside the equipment. By managing the building and equipment restoration as one integrated restoration project, the team was able to progressively restore the entire work environment\u2014not just individual assets\u2014and quickly establish suitable conditions for equipment to be returned to use.<\/p>\n\n
